Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify structured program requirements for control sub-system
   • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures are identified and applied
2. Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures implemented
3. Extent of structured programming is determined from job specifications and consultations with relevant person/s
4. Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with relevant person/s
5. Development kit and software are selected from job specifications and in accordance with workplace procedures
6. Strategies are implemented to ensure programming is written in accordance with workplace procedures
7. Develop structured programs for control sub-system
   • WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed
8. Information technology functions are applied to develop structured programs
9. Correct structure and syntax are applied to developing structured program
10. Programming languages are applied to structured programs to develop and test solutions
11. Issues/problems are analysed to identify and apply solutions
